Malayer Rugs
Antique & Vintage rugs from Malayer, east of Hamadan, could be considered top quality Hamadan’s and they share similar structural aspects. Although seemingly urban, virtually every Malayer contains village touches: birds, animals, people or random geometric elements. This makes them playful and unexpected. Some small rugs in medallion patterns and fine weaves mimic Kashan’s or Feraghan Sarouks while larger carpets often employ repeating patterns.
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
